International organisations are helping them to assess the situation on the ground and respond directly with food, non-food items, hygiene kits, winter clothes and emergency shelter (tents). DFID is closely monitoring what is happening and we stand ready to assist as and when our support is requested or required.</p><p> </p><p>The UK is at the forefront of the international humanitarian response in Afghanistan. As a result of UK funding, up to two million Afghans received lifesaving assistance in 2018, including hundreds of thousands of Afghans affected by one of the worst droughts the country has ever faced. Our assistance includes shelter and heating support to help displaced people face the winter, as well as food assistance, lifesaving health &amp; nutrition services, clean water, and demining activities.</p>

The centres are the responsibility of the Libyan authorities. No UK funding or European Union Emergency Trust Fund (EUTF) funding is allocated to the Libyan Department for Combatting Illegal Migration (DCIM), nor detention centres in Libya. The EUTF is working to improve conditions for migrants in DCIM-run centres on a humanitarian basis. Initiatives include providing safe spaces for the most vulnerable, installing air ventilation, water, sanitation and hygiene items, toilet facilities, and providing mobile medical assistance. In parallel, the EU is seeking sustainable and humane alternatives for those in these centres, including by supporting voluntary returns or resettlement in safe third countries.</p>
